An angry driver appears to be using a rented Cybertruck as a battering ram to attack the package thief

“Two wrongs don’t make a right, but two idiots sure make YouTube good.”

The pirate sandwich

A vigilante who rented a neon green Cybertruck on the ride-sharing app Turo appears to have been right about them. hands chasing a porch pirate, forcing them off the road and slamming them into a nearby tree.

Footage of the bizarre event, shared by Cybertruck owner Stephen Phelps on Facebookshows the Brutalist truck speeding up after seeing an individual running towards their car with what appears to be a package in his hands.

Seconds later, the Cybertruck catches up with the accused pirate’s black sedan by the porch, preventing it from following a left turn in the road and forcing it to show up in a nearby tree. The Cybertruck then crashes into the back of the Porch Pirate’s vehicle — or make a “sandwich with the thief’s car and a tree,” as Phelps put it.

A separate angle recorded by what appears to be the Cybertruck renter’s smart doorbell shows the accused thief running towards their car. Seconds later, the green Cybertruck can be seen whizzing away in the distance. The clip ends with an ominous crash as the black car crashes into a tree.

“About to find out how good T(uro)’s insurance is…” Phelps wrote in his post. “Hopefully everything will work, but for a little while on a car.”

Ram

It is still unclear what exactly was in the stolen package that would warrant a reckless high-speed chase and destruction of private property.

“Looks like their neighborhood has been having trouble with break-ins all week,” Phelps wrote in one follow-up comment.

Phelps also revealed that “this was an $800 rental from Friday to Monday.”

Vigilante justice aside, Phelps—and most likely the driver of his Cybertruck—will have a lot of paperwork ahead of him. It’s unclear whether insurance will end up paying for the damage.

Worse yet, Tesla’s brutal pickup truck has already earned a reputation for being almost impossible to repair. Unless the automaker decides to issue Phelps with an all-new vehicle, it’s likely the truck won’t be in drivable condition for quite some time.

In addition, the Cybertruck driver could be said to have put the alleged thief’s life in danger, which could complicate matters greatly.

Meanwhile, users on the Cybertruck Owners Forum watched the footage in horror – and to say the least, amused.

“Two wrongs don’t make a right, but two idiots sure make YouTube good,” one user he wrote.
